barbie.com unsafe for young girls to surf
barbie.com had a poll asking kids their age and their gender (girl/boy/I don't know) and the group "Concerned Women for America" flipped out over this "transgender question" (their phrasing). Concerned Women for America's statement. because I live in a fantasyland of liberal politics, their sound clip strikes me as an extended-joke-conversation (which is a bad thing; it's scary, not weird and funny). Mattel says the option was due to "internal oversight" and the option should have been "I don't want to say" (via this article at gay.com)
also, I thought that web sites weren't allowed to collect information on kids under 13?
